I am coming out for New Years Eve, snagged a rate back in June for for the 31st at Aria for $259!!

I am planning to come out for a total of 4 nights, so the night of the first I just booked Friday for Green Valley Ranch, $75 (web only, 50% off). And, my last two nights I booked at Aria again, where they have rates starting at just $109/nt, with a $50 resort credit, AND for an additional $50/nt, upgrade to a corner suite!!

I am booked the 2nd and 3rd of January... Without the promotion, it is $300/nt for the corner suite. I got this promotion from a mailer they sent me a month back, the code is ARFW11G, or go to arialasvegas.com/winter2011.

There are some great deals out there for people coming in for New Years that may wanna stay a couple extra nights.

And, Aria isn't the only hotel in the giving spirit. Excalibur is offering mid-week stays over the next two weeks for $22 a night, and just eight bucks more on the weekend. Luxor has rooms from $7 (split four ways).

Venetian's Winter in Venice package has rooms from $149 plus kicks in two ice skating passes (worth $30 bucks alone), plus hot chocolate for two, 40 bucks off Winter in Venice spa treatments and 20 percent off your bill at Valentino or The Grill.

Wynn's winter promotion will give you a rate of $169 for a two-night stay minimum, but then kicks in a $75 resort credit bringing the stay down to around $132 a night. Want Caesars? It's offering rooms from $99 a night over the next two weeks. Flamingo? From $35 a night. Go non-refundable at the Strat and get a discount on top of their best rate which was taking 25 percent off rack bringing rooms as low as $29.99 a night.

Off the Strip, Rumor Boutique has a winter special that knocks 30 percent off your stay meaning rooms for about $42 a night, plus a free bottle of champagne. Meantime, Hard Rock is offering up to 40 percent off rates if you book by tomorrow.

So, who's ready to gift themselves with a last-minute trip to Vegas this holiday season?
